Elon’s not personally designing battery chemistry or running aerodynamics simulations on bodywork at Tesla. He certainly isn’t bolting them together, though that would explain the poor finish quality I keep hearing about.
The leadership of a company of any significant size can only ever be doing a small plurality of the work at most, and can usually get away with much less than that. There simply aren’t enough hours in the day to outwork the hundreds or thousands of employees that are actually making the company most of its money.

Every billionaire claims that it’s all due to hard work, but their “work” is mostly just meetings where they get to just spitball bullshit that doesn’t even have to make any sense.
2-hour “business lunch” where you discuss business for 5 minutes? That’s work to a billionaire.
18 holes with your business buddies, whether that means golf or a meeting at a brothel? Work.
Tweeting from a building belonging to the company? Work.
Playing a ridiculous Elden Ring bulld in the office? Work.
Shouting at your ex wife while on company premises? Work.
Berating workers for wanting to unionize? Work.

Nobody’s ever been truly productive during, right before or right after lunch. It just can’t be done 🤷
